17 I write my poems as a representation of my thoughts, sometimes.
Several corpses lying beside its bed, were found by an angel in love, now if to the past we went, so in deep devotion, and thoughts of worship, did this angel lie along, in wait for its beloved, it went ran strange and often quite worthless errands, jumping in horses in happiness, or tearing her clothes to the river in joy, and offering a dance, so much so, she was in love- And thus, came along, the corpse, frightened her to the core, awoke her from her hope, and took her to dread, reminding her of her lover, at every instance that the memory sought, to perish, and **** off every thought, the dread remained, and along came another, as she moved on, another dead glimpse of a devil she knew, who could that be? could it be the truth? or just a trickery? Asked she, as forced by nature, and religion, her love didn't make sense anymore, to herself whatsoever, she loved a man, but had to question herself, a thousand times before, for the same reasons that would condemn her existence and air, waiting, and more, she needed him to collapse the struggle, as she knew, and now a meandering presence, those memories of the corpse- Now to the past, the ones that hurt, before the corpses lay, the ones that let them come near her and enjoy her presence, as once, she was mocked, and put to display, and once again, she questioned, herself, and was questioned again, her stay, a gift, and her title as an angel, a submission to their conditions, and then, a man let her stay, simply as quietly, as she would, she thought she found someone, but he lived down there in hell, As thus the corpses followed, and wrecked her stay. Her desires of humans, and of passions to joy and love, all wrecked by the memories that never occurred, how would that look, if she were to question her man and her love, and her life, and to consider death, a better human being, than heaven itself, still living, as an attempt, and thus, she had to wait, without him; or did he? The folk would wonder, if ever in true love, was ever she, but the truths she knew, and the comfort she had gained was a testament to his beauty, and the living proof, of her failure, lied along their happiness, a past she tried to forget, and move on to hell, with love, such was the unfulfilled thirst, but more intense, were the questions, that her love now couldn't answer, the same ones it once could, shattered by the terror of the glimpses that had occurred, a trust between the devil that was established, and her lies that were burdened, the memories haunted her, her life so far, and the past was a treason, as much the truth, her present love her religion, and then one day, a visual came and went along, as it was all ruined, by those corpses in heaven.

The Corpses in Heaven
Several corpses lying beside its bed, were found by an angel in love, now if to the past we went, so in deep devotion, and thoughts of worship, did this angel lie along, in wait for its beloved, it went ran strange and often quite worthless errands, jumping in horses in happiness, or tearing her clothes to the river in joy, and offering a dance, so much so, she was in love- And thus, came along, the corpse, frightened her to the core, awoke her from her hope, and took her to dread, reminding her of her lover, at every instance that the memory sought, to perish, and **** off every thought, the dread remained, and along came another, as she moved on, another dead glimpse of a devil she knew, who could that be? could it be the truth? or just a trickery?

In no land of his own, and acting the way i would, if I had to dance, out of compulsion and prayer, but never out of passion, cause i can't, yet clearly now, have i gone insane to perform the deed, or none else can my mind revel upon, dead is the being, and so, alive till the body dies, is my love, what i did love once, now needs so proof, as I am here, once again, all alone, wondering what of it all, if i could never make past, this land, that is none like my own, and if then i ever landed onto the blessed place i dream of, once, and again, touched by her footsteps, I'll know, my life has too been accomplished, as now at last, I've gotten a glimpse of my beloved, yet so far, only in essence, and where's the rhyme of this poisonous song of life? And i could say, it needs none, as for the rest, I'd hope the ink has already been used, as I'd hope too, much like the hive, the folks and friends are together, and yet, i am here, in no land of my own. As he looks past the roads, and crowds of people, and my inner thoughts that whisper, to try and take hold, or once in a while, as I'd remember to wish to witness those mountain folds, and in chance i forget the one, those eyes meant to sit beside mine, I'll know what I've learned, and Like a prayer, I'll remember her, in my phrases of life, and then again, pray, as she'll help me win these fights, and along then, As like a prayer, I hope the air travels, and whispers in the message, that by any chance, I might've failed to deliver, as for now, affected and outrun, I stand, alone, a wish outside a river, or a pool of green water, scented like the 4'o clock flower. And all this, may help me remember you, and like a prayer, I've retained our shared breath, as you'll burn the corpse, and let the incense flow up to mine, and you'll know the lies, as then, and now again, you know, you've succeeded in love, and whether hurt, or in comfort, I've remembered you, like a prayer.

A Prayer
In no land of his own, and acting the way i would, if I had to dance, out of compulsion and prayer, but never out of passion, cause i can't, yet clearly now, have i gone insane to perform the deed, or none else can my mind revel upon, dead is the being, and so, alive till the body dies, is my love, what i did love once, now needs so proof, as I am here, once again, all alone, wondering what of it all, if i could never make past, this land, that is none like my own, and if then i ever landed onto the blessed place i dream of, once, and again, touched by her footsteps, I'll know, my life has too been accomplished, as now at last, I've gotten a glimpse of my beloved, yet so far, only in essence, and where's the rhyme of this poisonous song of life?

⭐THE UNPOLISHED SEASON — Poem X (final poem) I woke up this morning without the version of myself that usually arrives first, the one that straightens the spine, clears the throat, and rehearses the day before the feet have even touched the floor. Instead, a quieter me showed up. The one who doesn’t rush to fill the room with meaning, or adjust the mouth to look like someone worth quoting. I drank the lukewarm coffee without pretending it was a ritual. I didn’t consult the mirror to see if my face was cooperating. I didn’t arrange myself into a person who looks intentional. The room didn’t object. The dust stayed where it had clocked out. The kettle sat cold on the counter, unbothered. Nothing in the house asked for credentials. Nothing required the shine. The weight sat in my shoulders, my voice, my breathing, without needing to be translated into a victory. So I sat down exactly as I was, the posture uncorrected, the mood unedited, the story left blank. And nothing collapsed. The walls didn’t demand a better version. The day moved forward without an audience, without applause. I breathed in. I breathed out. It was entirely enough.

The Version of Me That Doesn't Perform
A life i had once envisioned, of loneliness, and stares, and a head staring down at the earth, in sadness and despair, all for the repair, was a hope, and a dream, that a single day, my life would be fulfilled, I drew a map, and planned a route, towards this long journey, and towards an even heavier, and brutal destination, more so the thought than the life imagined itself, and what a taste that is, so futile our minds are, and so egregious our thoughts are, often compared to the simplistic life we lead, and the wondrous, and often beautiful acts we commit, and so thus, empty and invisible at times to the world, but vivacious and joyful, they seem to the souls that depart, by the virtue of our choices, whether of love, or care, or help, or wonder, and unconditional affection towards one. Heavier these thoughts indeed were then, directing a compass for the hollow and empty life that i may have lead at behest, as worse and mundane are our lives, often compared to our imaginations, and then one day, a light in red, shined. In Pain, and in joy, all when i thought of this shine, was of its light, and it only, I swear, in pain and in joy, the only act a simple glimpse of this immaculate beauty could commit upon me, was the act of a smile, an act of joy, and in the cause of pain, and suffering, as my thoughts were, even then, all i could think of, and be reminded of, was her grace, a woman, this was indeed, as i had found out, that life was not all i desired it to be, perhaps my destiny. And from the day, all the realizations, and the reckonings the soul has had, leading up to my fate, is perhaps the fact, that God itself looked down upon, this kindred and yet so dull and meaningless of a soul, and thought to empower and complete its life, by coming down itself, and yet, it didn't meet me, by the right time. But a chance indeed, and nothing else this is truly, a chance at permanence, and a life of light, going through these foreign obstacles in my head, as required it must be, to not fumble this life, and form the ground with another tear of regret in my life, to be freed of the dark shadows and the meaningless and shallow and imaginary, and unrealistic, whether dreams of fruition, or indeed just a false dream, indeed the latter, or as now, forgive me, my father, and my destined creator, cause i do not seek to know, or wish to find out, at all, about this road not taken. I have gladly accepted what i had, what i have, and now simply have no further desires or wicked imaginations, of what i will have as i must not either, to live in a dream, you must accept the reality as is, and now, as this light in red shines bright, better than a dream, and oh so wild, such, this reality survives. And now, for all i know, is at last, I am happy, and have been granted a guide to life, and this beautiful chance to survive, so i thank god, for having come down to earth, and be in love, with the non believer, in pain or joy, must my thoughts reside, but from that moment, that i saw and encountered you, have only my actions and choices sufficed, so from this moment, I say again, must my thoughts reside, but let only my actions and choices suffice, and let, in this life of mine, of all and the many that i may or may not have, as in afterlife, let my love survive. And let this life of mine, be an act of love, with this light that as i hope, may forever shine. As all that is yours, is now all mine, In Pain and Joy.

In Pain and Joy- An Act of Love
A life i had once envisioned, of loneliness, and stares, and a head staring down at the earth, in sadness and despair, all for the repair, was a hope, and a dream, that a single day, my life would be fulfilled, I drew a map, and planned a route, towards this long journey, and towards an even heavier, and brutal destination, more so the thought than the life imagined itself, and what a taste that is, so futile our minds are, and so egregious our thoughts are, often compared to the simplistic life we lead, and the wondrous, and often beautiful acts we commit, and so thus, empty and invisible at times to the world, but vivacious and joyful, they seem to the souls that depart, by the virtue of our choices, whether of love, or care, or help, or wonder, and unconditional affection towards one.

A train passed by, weeks later, rain followed the dust, caused through by the saints' rust, now present after a long time, he looked for words to make the wrong ones rhyme, and like that, we saw the copper shine, some men onboard, some on the decline, the one in white said “to retrace the tracks, one must cover the facts, the shoe stay hid inside the muddy rack”, the way to say the truth or not, declined…, huts set up for a few, and some on the terrace rejoiced, the women could stay unclothed and all alone, to laugh at the sublime, only they were the ones or so, the others worked like the men, oft failing to satisfy the rain, as their tears dropped in vain, and never dreaming for a life they'd call pain, or full of shame, for the rocks under their feet, they'd still mock and reject the loyalty; for the women, they laughed, as the queens of royalty, their piece of mockery, and so they were, as the men enjoyed the turmoil, below the road, they stayed glad, never yet mad or at the back, cheering without gain, a prize for the fame, unclothed in shame or happiness in rain. An Afterthought(A question)- "When I went close to him, and pledged him my life, The King and lord of ours”, such was the sight that he did sought, imprisoned by the cage for hours, a war that he seemed to have once fought; “Like the undying shower of rain in the kingdom, was that 'the majesty's claim' of wisdom”. The answer- “And for once, I can thank god, for that everyone who knows me, can for once-a-lifetime say they do owe me, for I allowed this blood of all my friends to flow through my veins and not my hearts and hands, maybe."

A day or more, a boy or girl, as it arrives, it has no clue what it is, it's told by the world, despite the truths, as it sees all of it, whether grass, or paintings, or world buildings, and world businesses, and lives, and other beings, like him, it survives, finds people, loves them in different ways, unlike how it's characterized, it then forms a bond with one or two, memorable, but not strong enough to be felt and required, with some a friendship, that seems it could last perhaps, lust and gaze, and eyes matched, an obsession, a few lies, and bones thrashed, something it'd call love, promises, that would haunt him later on, or like words, that won't forget to come back- And then again, an attraction felt, it's grown or so it thinks, and he feels life as it sees, yet confused, now he knows, what attraction is, infatuation of beings, kinship or romance, all that, before he could know, or question, the bowl breaks down into pieces again- But as it thinks, it lets it stay, what the brain remembers, is what it once said and felt, and asked it to remember, it feels something yet, but it can let go, for this thing is at peace, with his beliefs and flawed choices, even if that was to be- And at last, across seas and oceans, it finds somewhat of a peace, a group of shells and beings like the life and lives he imagines one must lead, and once again, finally something to admire for not the way it shines or appears, but simply its words and works of desire- he catches this being by heart, now able to distinguish between things he never had, a secure attachment, all his past lives come to delight with the shame of their lives, but now, in equal pride. What he feels with her, is more than love, as he sees a being, and he can't help but question every time- what is this that's happening my parts, a force, a pull, as it gravitates towards her, not just in attraction of beauty, or love, and life, but what he sees, in her, he desires to see in himself and more, what he feels in her, is what he feels for himself, now found his true being, not yet, no, but indeed mustered up the courage to find and discover it all, and question his life once again, a secure attachment, a peace of life, a feel of love, not like the sisters and brothers and kin-members of the past, a desire of exclusivity, and thoughts shared, and all that, as it feels a desire in her, as to be his, and a thought occurs, of oneness, and romance, and at last, he knows this, as so does she, as- Love.

people die always, journals go unwritten and words go unsaid all of us leave something undone, something blank, something bland your family will stare at the journal for hours, imagine the works you had no time for and maybe some words were meant to be said, maybe they would’ve kept you, made you laugh so stay lie in bed all day and forget to eat cut yourself and swallow whatever fits keep yourself quiet and deal on your own or hopefully don’t, but if you need to in order to stay, stay

1 - Feel Nature       Us, as humans, view ourselves as separate from nature. We think that we                bear any major differences from the grass that grows among us or the        birds that fly above us. We view benign inclement weather as an        unfortunate symptom of the world around us, something to be avoided.        However, nature is deeply ingrained in our human spirit. We rely on it to        live, eat and drink, and to sleep and awaken. Our involvement in nature        is consequential as the animals we keep in zoos for amusement, the        plants we farm for food, and the pests we evade and **** Feel the nature        and the life around you. Go into the woods and let the leaves, wind, and        atmosphere consume you and replace your worldliness and doubts. Walk          under snow and rain and watch the water melt on you, see the water seep        into the ground and join puddles and lakes before it evaporates and falls        again. Sit at the shore of a lake and observe the algae drift with the        water affected by the wind, everchanging and yet static. Bask in the        Moon's forgiving light, watch how it monitors the stars and hides behind        passing clouds, reluctant to reveal itself. Nature moves in seasons, just        as we often do. As one condition of our natural surroundings leaves,        somebody or something may enter our lives, separating one era from the        last, creating a new essence for ourselves, until the weather changes        once again and life's dynamic nature is confirmed. Welcome these        changes with open arms and let the world lead you wherever it might        take you. The sun, in affecting the environment we were born from, may        evoke changes so great in us that we become as unrecognizable, as        leaves change after autumn's cycle runs its course. If we don't let        ourselves change, we will surely reach the same fate as a building built        on sand after its creator refuses to acknowledge the changing nature of        the tides. 2 - Respect Pain        Change will always foster pain, as pain fosters change. Avoiding the        pain of change simply means you are choosing the pain of staying        stagnant. Trees do not avoid the winter coming, though the cold will        surely make survival difficult. In preparation for the winter, as the days        shorten and become colder, Trees will pump sap out of any pores in their        wood, which will act as an insulator, protecting them from any        temperatures they will not handle. However, they will also shed their        own leaves, especially smaller and thinner ones, and let them fall in        order to lose less water and energy. Do not run from the winter. Do not        run from the freeze, and your losses and the sting of the cold air working        against you. Keep yourself safe, and learn to go through life and operate        normally under these new conditions. The pain will, someday leave,        either through more change or familiarity. Life will be different, but        alright nonetheless. Life will go on, with or without you, so working        with the change and the pain it will bring is the only way to ensure you        walk with life another day. 3 - Love        No matter how many times it has burned you before, do not stray from        love. Love is not purely romantic, it lives in every interaction we have in        daily life. Showing love to somebody is not limited to what we do for        somebody or how we act around somebody. Listen to the songs admired        by people you love and feel their warmth in the sounds they've hung on        to hundreds of times before. Love a piece of art by letting it deeply        influence your own art, let the words and colors and sounds of the artists        before you morph themselves into the art you create. Love your body by        treating it as a temple where you, yourself, are the god. Love your own        power by performing your skills to the best of their abilities. Love a        deity you honor by dedicating pieces of your life both large and small to        your worship. Love no longer performed is not love lost. This love is        still easily felt by a warm memory, a preserved gift, or art created in its        midst. Feel every piece of love you have as deeply and dramatically as        possible. Love, often comes as a harbinger of pain. Love also often        arises from the ashes of pain, providing a warmth that you may have        lost. No matter what, love fuels every action we take, and without love,        the cycles that run our lives would cease. If the sun no longer loved the       earth, seasons would hold no power or rhythm. If the ocean lost its love       for the land, life on the earth would quickly lose water, and be able to       live no longer. An artist who loses their love of their craft is robbing       learning and developing artists of gaining inspiration. A person who does       not love life will quickly lose it.

Go into the woods and let the leaves, wind, and        atmosphere consume you and replace your worldliness and doubts. Walk          under snow and rain and watch the water melt on you, see the water seep        into the ground and join puddles and lakes before it evaporates and falls        again. Sit at the shore of a lake and observe the algae drift with the        water affected by the wind, everchanging and yet static. Bask in the        Moon's forgiving light, watch how it monitors the stars and hides behind        passing clouds, reluctant to reveal itself. Nature moves in seasons, just        as we often do. As one condition of our natural surroundings leaves,        somebody or something may enter our lives, separating one era from the        last, creating a new essence for ourselves, until the weather changes        once again and life's dynamic nature is confirmed. Welcome these        changes with open arms and let the world lead you wherever it might        take you. The sun, in affecting the environment we were born from, may        evoke changes so great in us that we become as unrecognizable, as        leaves change after autumn's cycle runs its course. If we don't let        ourselves change, we will surely reach the same fate as a building built        on sand after its creator refuses to acknowledge the changing nature of        the tides. 2 - Respect Pain        Change will always foster pain, as pain fosters change. Avoiding the        pain of change simply means you are choosing the pain of staying        stagnant. Trees do not avoid the winter coming, though the cold will        surely make survival difficult. In preparation for the winter, as the days        shorten and become colder, Trees will pump sap out of any pores in their        wood, which will act as an insulator, protecting them from any        temperatures they will not handle. However, they will also shed their        own leaves, especially smaller and thinner ones, and let them fall in        order to lose less water and energy. Do not run from the winter. Do not        run from the freeze, and your losses and the sting of the cold air working        against you. Keep yourself safe, and learn to go through life and operate        normally under these new conditions. The pain will, someday leave,        either through more change or familiarity. Life will be different, but        alright nonetheless. Life will go on, with or without you, so working        with the change and the pain it will bring is the only way to ensure you        walk with life another day. 3 - Love        No matter how many times it has burned you before, do not stray from        love. Love is not purely romantic, it lives in every interaction we have in        daily life. Showing love to somebody is not limited to what we do for        somebody or how we act around somebody. Listen to the songs admired        by people you love and feel their warmth in the sounds they've hung on        to hundreds of times before. Love a piece of art by letting it deeply        influence your own art, let the words and colors and sounds of the artists        before you morph themselves into the art you create. Love your body by        treating it as a temple where you, yourself, are the god. Love your own        power by performing your skills to the best of their abilities. Love a        deity you honor by dedicating pieces of your life both large and small to        your worship. Love no longer performed is not love lost. This love is        still easily felt by a warm memory, a preserved gift, or art created in its        midst. Feel every piece of love you have as deeply and dramatically as        possible. Love, often comes as a harbinger of pain. Love also often        arises from the ashes of pain, providing a warmth that you may have        lost. No matter what, love fuels every action we take, and without love,        the cycles that run our lives would cease. If the sun no longer loved the       earth, seasons would hold no power or rhythm. If the ocean lost its love       for the land, life on the earth would quickly lose water, and be able to       live no longer. An artist who loses their love of their craft is robbing       learning and developing artists of gaining inspiration. A person who does       not love life will quickly lose it.
